I've been homeless for a while now, alone without a penny to my name. It's something you live day by day, and never once does it seem to get any easier, especially come winter. This was proving to be no different, that is, until an angel seemed to appear out of nowhere.

This story is a sequel to Just a Clone

I'd spent most of my life as nothing more than a clone of somepony else. But thanks to that pony I was given a second chance. But while I've tried hard to leave that past behind me, it seems it's not quite ready to let go. I may have my own name, my own face, and my own body, but there's something I still lack. A Cutie Mark, the very thing that defines a pony still eludes me even after all these months.

But it's out there, somewhere. I don't know where or when, but I will find out what it is I'm destined to be.

She'd spend the day with them, shared stories, and shown a love she'd never experienced. And while she thought it was temporary, she didn't expect what would happen next.

For two years I've been hiding, for two years I've tried to just live my life. But it all came crashing down the day I chose to have lunch at a Diner. Now I'm forced to run again, forced to leave the life I tried to build. But what choice do I have, what choice does a mere clone have when she shouldn't exist?

The Friendship Games had been a challenge, one much like the previous two events caused by the interference of magic. But just like the previous moments, it was overcome thanks to the magic of friendship. And just as before, it was over, and new friends were made. There was nothing left to worry about.

Or is there?

Broken, that is the word that Amber used to describe herself when she discovered that she was unable to have her own child. It was a word that her best friend Annie wished she'd stop using, but Amber wouldn't budge. But Annie wasn't going to leave it alone, if Amber was going to accept that she was broken, then she'd have to accept that anything broken can also be fixed.

Amber has turned eighteen, meaning her life in the orphanage is now over, it's time for her to move on. But she can't being herself to leave, because even as she packed her bag and shipped out her belongings, she realized that there was something that she forgot to bring with her. The two ponies who have been the only family she has ever had, Hot Head, and Lucky.

Octavia has questioned many times about why Vinyl enjoys being a DJ and how she could stand the music she plays. But never once had it ever crossed her mind to ask Vinyl a very important question, of all the instruments that were available, why did she choose the turntable?

We all dreamed of the day when we would turn twenty-one, the day when we would finally be able to legally drink our first alcoholic beverage, and Claire was no exception. Now that she had finally come of age, she asks her coltfriend Illusion to take her out for her first drink. However neither she nor Illusion were prepared for the hilarity that would ensue.

Claire and Illusion have a bond that cannot be shaken, they have shared in each others happiness and shouldered one another during times of great grief. They have encountered many challenges during their time together, and together they faced them head on. And now life has chosen to throw them their greatest challenge yet, but are they truly prepared for the trials they will face?

They don't know, but they will brave the challenge, together.
